Hi Pablo,
there is an error in your XSD syntax…
I’m sure you mean
<xsd:element maxOccurs….

Plus, if you are using the JAXB reference implementation, you should be able to force XJC into generating the property with the correct type by adding an annotation (binding cutomization):

<xsd:element maxOccurs='unbounded' minOccurs="0“ name="positions“ type="xsd:IDREF“>
        <xsd:annotation>
                <xsd:appInfo>
                        <jaxb:property>
                              <jaxb:baseType name="AuthorBio "/>
                         </jaxb:property>
                </xsd:appInfo>
        <xsd:annotation>
<xsd:element>

You need to make sure that the JAXB namespace xmlns:jaxb="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jaxb“ is properly imported and that the jaxb:version and extensionElementPrefixes=„jaxb“ properties are present.

Regards, Mirko
